Abortion Drives Politics

Politicians have a propensity to use statistics to pit those who have something against those who do not by measuring our differences, pointing them out in the form of legislation designed to narrow the differences and gain votes. When is comes to abortion the government is silent on statistics; since roe vs wade there have been over 40,000,000 abortions, let us do a little statistical extrapolation and say the decision goes the other way.

Today of the total 10% of those were eliminated by mortality, 10% were unproductive due to physical or mental morbidity, and 10% fell off the end of the earth, leaving 28,000,000 people left to grow the population of the US. Those people would have been born in the US, educated in the US, made scientific discoveries we will never know, been the next great world leader, the list goes on. Now economically those people would be paying taxes into the social security system, corporate taxes, personal taxes, estate taxes. So how do we fill the hole?

Allow an equal number of people to cross our boarders over the same number of years, most not in the systems, working for cash, sending a good part of it home, operating small businesses out of homes for cash in the cash economy. The over crowding in California prison system is around 30%, the percentage of foreigners in prison system 30%. The overcrowding in schools, hospitals, the burden of federal mandated programs all statistical equate with the number of foreigners in the respective region.

The democrats want the foreigners made citizens for the votes, both the Democrats and the republican want them to save social security and to keep wages down. We import labor by exporting our manufacturing as GM seeks government assistance, the plan is to move more manufacturing jobs overseas where production cost are less. I hear no outcry from either party on this issue. Between those allowed into the states via illegal entry, those entering the country under work visas who are highly skilled who are willing to work for less, and those jobs exported over seas there is little motivation to increase wages for middle class Americans.
